Page 14: Liquid System
ATTENTION! If a MANIFOLD valve is too tight to operate - or to loose (= liquid leakage) - the valve needs to be ser- viced. Please see the section ‘Maintenance’ for further information. Green valves - Green disc = Pressure valve To spray boom To HARDI FILLER To agitation To Tank Rinsing Nozzle... -
Page 15: Black Valves - Black Disc = Suction Valve
When the arrow on the handle is pointing towards a symbol, the liquid will flow to that symbol’s cor- responding device (i.e. HARDI FILLER). When the arrow on the hand- le is pointing towards “O”, the valve is closed. If all the green pressure valves are closed in a diaphragm pump system, the safety valve will open to allow liquid to flow back to the tank. -
Page 16: Diagram - Liquid System
The operating unit is constructed of modules and is electrically controlled via a remote control box. The built-in HARDI-MATIC ensures a constant volume per hectare of the liquid (l/ha) at varying forward speed within the same gear when the number of P.T.O. revolutions are between 300-600 r.p.m. (pump 540 r.p.m) or 650-1100 r.p.m. (pump 1000 r.p.m.). -
Page 17: Filters
3 - Description Filters A Cyclone pressure filter is fitted to the sprayers left side just behind the MANIFOLD system. It has a built-in self-cleaning function. Nozzle filters are fitted at each nozzle. In-line pressure filters can be fitted at each section as an option. A suction filter can also be fitted under the platform. -
Page 18: Hardi Filler
3 - Description HARDI FILLER The HARDI FILLER is situated in the working zone on the sprayers left side, just behind the MANIFOLD valves. When being used it should be folded down by grabbing the handle and pulling it against your- self and down. -
Page 19: Boom
3 - Description Boom Boom and terminology The sprayer can be fitted with VHY or VHZ boom. Both booms are supported by a trapeze which is fitted to the tank frame. The trapeze helps the boom to stay horizontal when unfolded and it protects the boom against vibrations and shocks when driving on uneven ground. -
Page 20: Equipment
The actual tank level in the main tank can be observed on the tank level indicator. The scale is displayed in litres or Imp. gal/US gal. (cer- tain countries). ATTENTION! If extra high accuracy are needed HARDI FILLME- TER can be fitted as optional equipment. Remote pressure gauge The remote pressure gauge is located above the manifold valve on the platform. -
Page 21: Sprayer Setup
4 - Sprayer setup General info Unloading the sprayer from the truck For the unloading of the sprayer, you need a crane. When unloading with a crane please observe the lifting points as shown on the pictu- re, and make sure that the straps or belts used for lifting are strong enough. -
Page 22: Jack Up The Sprayer
4 - Sprayer setup Jack up the sprayer When the sprayer needs wheel mounting, wheel changing, brake or wheel bearing changing etc. then jack up the sprayer under the axle as shown. -
Page 23: Mechanical Connections
4 - Sprayer setup Mechanical connections Transmission shaft - Operator’s safety 1. Always STOP ENGINE before attaching the transmission shaft to tractor P.T.O. - most tractor P.T.O. shafts can be rotated by hand to facilitate spline alignment, when engine is stopped. 2. - Page 24 4 - Sprayer setup 4. The two parts are shortened equally. Use a saw, and file the profi- les afterwards to remove burrs. 5. Grease the profiles and assemble male and female parts again. 6. Fit the shaft to tractor P.T.O. and sprayer pump shaft. ATTENTION! Female part marked with a tractor towards trac- tor! 7.

Page 25: Hydraulic Systems
4 - Sprayer setup Hydraulic systems General info Ensure that snap couplers are clean before connection! After having operated the boom and the system has been filled with oil, check tractor’s hydraulic oil level and top up if necessary. DANGER! Test of the hydraulic system should be done very cautiously. There may be air trapped in the system which can cause violent movements of the boom. -
Page 26: Open Centre Hydraulics (Optional Equipment)
Certain tractor models are able to use Load Sensing using an external sensing line (1/4” hose) directly from the tractor to the boom hydraulic block. If fitted, the LS outlet on the boom hydraulic block must be restricted using an 1/4” niple with an 0.7 mm orifice (Hardi part no. 146851). -
Page 27: Electrical Connections
4 - Sprayer setup Electrical connections Control boxes Control boxes are fitted in the tractor cabin at a convenient place. Installation of control box - Hydraulics control unit Find a suitable place in the tractor’s cabin. Best recommended pla- cement is to the right of the driver seat and in combination with the SPRAY control box. -
Page 28: Power Supply
4 - Sprayer setup Power supply Power requirement is 12V DC. Note polarity! The wires must have a cross sectional area of at least 4.0 mm to ensure a sufficient power supply. For the operating unit the tractor circuit should have an 8 Amp fuse. -
Page 29: Track Gauge, Axles And Wheels
4 - Sprayer setup Track gauge, axles and wheels Altering the track gauge The track gauge of the RANGER can be altered stepless as follows, 1. Measure the current track gauge (centre RH tyre to centre LH tyre). Each side must be extended or retracted half the desired alte- ration. -
Page 30: Boom
4 - Sprayer setup Boom Suspension effect adjustment In order to alter the behaviour of the boom the trapeze has 4 set- tings. Setting 1: For use on uneven ground with many obstacles. Setting 2: All-round standard setting (Factory setting) Setting 3: Slightly slower mowing trapeze. -
Page 31: Operation
5 - Operation Boom Safety info The boom must not be folded/unfolded while driving! Never use the folding/unfolding functions before sprayer has been stopped! Failure to do so will cause damage to the boom. DANGER! Before unfolding the boom it is important to connect the sprayer to the tractor to prevent overbalancing of the sprayer. -
